An ominous sign...

[luvmysuper]

Walgreens has apparently discontinued carrying Lilac Vegetal, none to be found in any of the 5 I looked in today.
CVS (which used to have the occassional bottle) has a barren shelf.
No problem, my last for sure go to place, Bed Bath and Beyond has it. A bit pricey, but still...

Wait, what? Empty shelf. No price sticker on the shelf where it SHOULD be.
This is not looking good.

Somebody got a line on a brick and mortar that carries LV?
I know I can get it on line, just would rather not pay full price plus shipping if I can avoid it.

Help me!

My Walgreen's have dropped it, too... I missed out on the clearance bottles

I've never seen it in a B&M store in my neck of the woods. All the beauty supply places (other than Sally's) carry it, but I can't imagine who they're selling it to. If this is a sign that it's going out of production, I'm just going to go over there, buy a couple of cases of it and fill up my guest bathroom's bathtub. According to Clubman Rob, the aeration should clear up any foulness and I'll have a veritable fountain of youth.

I know, I'm worried about this too. The Lilac Vegetarians are not yet large enough to impact large-scale distribution. Internet orders it will have to be.

Please don't go out of production, LV. I know the Hungarian Cavalry isn't what it used to be, but there's still a Maygar Equestrian in all of us. I just discovered the Veg, now I can't live without it.

My Walgreens was out last week when I went over to try it. Off to Sallys today I guess if not it's Mail order.

I have not had any luck at Sallys. I'm going out today on a snipe hunt. I'll let you guys know if I find anything.

(I know, spend 50 bucks on gas to save 3 bucks on shipping, but what can I do?)

Don't worry, I think I located the source of the original formulation. Send your empty bottles and I'll refill them for you.

I've seen LV at some smaller non-chain pharmacies, and other drugstores that are smaller chains (Rexall) in California, but that probably doesn't help you in Illinois.
Good Luck.

Nice try...
But everyone knows you wouldn't put something on your face that someone feels they need a rubber glove to handle.

Here's the REAL source.

Check at Bed, Bath and Beyond - the ones with the health and beauty departments. They had both LV and Clubman after shaves the last time I went through, you can also find it online from a couple of sources.

Yep, I mentioned in my OP that the BB&B didn't have it, and had removed the tag where it was supposed to go.

I did check a few places today and found one Walgreens with a straggler bottle on the shelf, but this was the last one, and it was almost an hour from me.

I'll keep checking the BB&B to see if they restock, but I'm not optimistic.

Tell me about it!

Went to ten Walgreens in the greater Boston area and couldn't find any.

Magyar Equestrian, I never thought of myself in that way.

Darn I feel special.

Maybe I should try and get back together with my former girlfriend who is an Equestrian, (Dressage).

Wait a minute!

What am I thinking!

I like horses but I don't like riding them and she really wasn't my girlfriend.

She was just using me for practice.

Perhaps one, or all of us, should have supported B&M stores before they became extinct, by the tramplings of WallyChinaMart, and the rush to the bottom.

I get where your coming from, but Wally is also a B&M. And frankly, if they sold LV there, I'd buy it.
It's going to take all of us and all of our friends and all of our families to stop buying cheap and substandard crap from China before the big corps listen.
I don't Walmart to go out of business. They employ Americans here. I just want them to stop subsidizing the expansion of the Chinese Government through their cheap sweatshop labor (which is all state controlled).
The only way they are going to do that is if we stop buying Chinese Goods.

How soon do you think that'll happen in this gimme, and gimme cheap consumer age?

Man, I wish I had have kept that bottle of LV!
